Don't Leave Out Men

May 7, 1986

THE SENTINEL printed names and addresses of women accused of straddle dancing at two Orange County dance clubs. While I don't approve of straddle dancing in commercial establishments -- the girls should be out of reach of the customers' grabbing hands -- I believe we have a double standard here.

Don't get me wrong. The officers are doing a great job of cleaning up the Orange Blossom Trail, but they shouldn't stop by arresting the straddlers. The straddled should be arrested too, and their names and addresses should be listed in the paper.

Everyone knows the names of the girls and their clubs, which is free publicity. Why shouldn't we know the names of the men involved?
